Hello, I am wanting to apply for Cambridge, I am currently doing 4 A levels, including further maths, I have seen that other posts kind of view FM as almost 'Supplementary' to maths so to speak, meaning it tends to be tacked on in a sense. I have been bouncing between if I should drop down to 3 A levels, because I am on A's and A*'s, but I am predicted a little below the entry requirements (A*AAA), but I can see from all the mocks and past papers I have done, that computing is the weakest link out of all of them, mainly because I generally lack in exam technique rather than simply not knowing, which is a more difficult thing to fix as it just requires one to do as much work on them as possible, and currently the spec I do has 2 past papers, and my computer science teacher quit at the start of the year, so we spent like a month straight without a teacher and then the teacher we had could be there in every lesson. That being said, although I reckon if I could just focus my absolute all on my A levels, I could most certainly get them very high, the issue not only do I need to sit the STEP exam, I cannot afford to go to university at all if I do not start working more hours, and A levels are harder than AS, so I know my grades could potentially be at risk of degrading by a wide margin for CS. That being said, I have been thinking about dropping down to three for a while now, because all I want is to go to Cambridge, but I am concerned that dropping to three might make my application less competitive and thus reduce my chances of getting in, and although I have been told they do not necessarily consider 4 A levels over 3, this brings me to my initial point that I have seen FM and maths treated almost like one A level kind of split in two if that makes sense. Because of this, I am worried that dropping to three for what I am going for could indeed damage my chances, and I do not know what to do, I was wondering if anybody who had got in for maths/STEM subjects, has experience with admissions etc. knows how it all works, because I do not know what to do, and it has been stressing me out for ages, because I do not want to continue with computer science, as I love the subject but do not like the specification itself so I would much prefer it as a hobby, but I do not want to screw myself over by dropping it. (I am a state school student and I do maths, further maths, computing and physics since I know that context applied to the offer)
